Strong efforts are under way to sabotage Brexit.
1. Article 50 of the founding document of the EU states that a country that wishes to leave the EU must formally notify ALL EU members of its intention. Then there is a two year period to negotiate the terms of leaving. British PM Cameron said he will not do that(notification). This delays the process at least until a new PM is elected.
2. Strong propaganda efforts are under way to change public opinion enough so Brexit does not occur. These efforts include: a) articles about people regretting their vote; b) articles about how business is going to leave Britain; c) blackmail by Scotland to secede.
Remember that the English invented the Ragman Rolls negotiations ( from which footdragging negotiations we got the word 'rigamarole'). The idea is to drag out the process till people get tired of the whole thing.
